Ok, I found two more 6-32 screws in the Tekin box. It looks like those were for the fan, as the fan was not mounted, and none of the other supplied screws fit the fan.

I also bought 10ga wire from A Main (Viper brand), and it's a heck of a lot thicker than the 12ga that comes with the RX8. It's not just the thicker insulation, but the wire itself looks like either the Tekin is smaller than 12ga or the Viper is larger than 10ga. Either way, the 10ga stuff doesn't work well with the posts on the RX8, so I just used the supplied Tekin 12ga wire.

So my overall impression is that the ESC is very, very smooth. The 2050kV motor has TONS of speed with my 6S pack. I knew my front street tires were having issues, but during my test drive, I blew the inside bead on one front tire. I'm sure it would have happened with the MMM as well, but it was funny that the first time out, the Tekin blows one of my tires.

I really don't like the manner in which voltage cutoff is set, and I don't like the solder posts on the ESC or motor; however I like it enough that I can overlook those faults.

So, anyone interested in an almost new MMM with a brand new 2200kV motor and an almost new 1800kV New 1512 motor? Seriously.
